Hello!
I am pleased to announce that Wikimedia has been selected as a mentoring
organization for the upcoming Google Summer of Code (out of only 137
organizations selected for this round) and Outreachy rounds.
Congratulations!
We have a phabricator board for possible projects[1] students can work on.
Currently, only 7 projects are in the "Featured" column with well-defined
project scope and mentors assigned.
A lot more are sitting in the "Needs Discussion" and "Missing
Mentors"
columns, looking forward to your input.
Enlisting some of the more discussed projects here:
- Gadget Usage Statistics [2]
- Out-of-date fact and statistics identification and review [3]
- Cross-wiki watchlists [4]
- Newsletter Mediawiki Extension [5]
Your comments would be greatly appreciated in shaping these ideas into
featured projects for the students.
If you know of other projects which could be a good fit for a 3 month
GSoC/Outreachy round, please feel free to add them to the board.
If you think you can mentor one of these projects, please do comment on the
ticket indicating so.

Wikimedia, along with Quim. Nice to meet you!
